Very comfortable stay
Pros:

We had a comfortable stay at the property. The property is located in close proximity to the Midi station with supermarket and other priority stores nearby. The room was spacious, and fully furnished as mentioned in the website. The check-in process is smooth. The location is safe.

Cons:

In peak summer time when the temperatures are soaring nearing 35degrees , the fan speed is very slow which may cause a bit of discomfort.

Älteres Appartement in verkehrsgünstiger Lage, Umgebung wenig ansprechend.
Pros:

Die Lage ist bezüglich Bahnhofsnähe (Brüssel Midi) günstig.

Cons:

Die Umgebung ist schmutzig und wirkt wenig vertrauenserweckend. Drei versperrte Eingangstüren hintereinander sind beruhigend, weisen aber auch auf die Zustände dort hin.
Insgesamt recht altmodische Ausstattung.

Central location, good stay!
Pros:

Great central location, many shops and asian restaurants nearby, very helpful host. All the great places/ exhibits are nearby, main station within walking distance.

Cons:

Crowded area, difficult to find parking with all the one way roads not showing correctly on google maps. The parking for the hotel is 300m away but costs 25euros overnight.
The entrance has 3 doors with 3 steps security- code, code, touchkey (good for safety but bad if you are in a hurry!)

Friendly staff and well equipped kitchen
Pros:

Staff allowed early check-in if the room was available. There is a lift available however do take note of the weight limit.

Location is 5 mins walk from Brussel-Zuid station and 30 mins walk from Grand-Place.

Do note that reception isn't manned 24 hours but help is available by calling on a number.
